Today was one of those days where I could not think of what I'd like to eat. I've said in the past that I could live on spaghetti but I think I'm all spaghetti'd out.
Last night @poeticsnake suggested a challenge for Cookwithus and she said a dish can be made in many ways - and that inspired me when I looked in my fridge and checked out what I have. I found the last of an onion, some cherry tomatoes, and some carrots. I was craving a huge plate of vegetables.
So to get to the point I made a packet of Uncle Ben's rice and shredded the onion, carrot and tomato. Next, I added some pitted olives and some corn out of a tin - and voila - I had a meal. Thought I'd have some leftovers but no - I polished the lot.
Forgot to add that I'm not a fan of tuna and I know its good for me so I added some tuna - and with the other ingredients - it was delicious.
First I popped the carrot, onion and tomato in one of those wonderful kitchen inventions - pull the string and you have chopped veg
nicely chopped
and popped on the plate
Add the corn and the pitted olives and surround with rice and then add the tuna.
The plate is upside down - and I did turn it around - but hey, it has a story to tell. Made by my 28-year-old daughter when she was 3 years old - and the other day she told a friend she had just made it - and the friend politely said how nice it was
So, this was my meal - made with what I had in the house - and I loved it.
